International Class

The Primary School uses the American style small-class teaching. In class, teachers’ guidance is combined with students’ self-exploration; Hands-on practice is combined with cooperative learning. An open classroom is also used to show student results. Therefore, students have time to participate in learning activities and are given ample opportunities to state their ideas and freely express themselves. The school values interactions among students and the interaction between students and teachers. Teachers care about students’ development, and students can happily study here. Furthermore, in order to develop their individuality, every student can participate in a variety of activities, including swimming, dance, and calligraphy.

Comprehensive Quality Class: Based on the completion of core courses from the nine – year compulsory education, teachers strengthen the development of students on “one main body with two wings body with two wings”.

In order to meet national standards, respect every student’s individual development, and educate fully-developed students, Principal Ren proposed the philosophy of ‘one child with two wings’. Specifically, this proposal requires that students not only focus on their academic studies, but also focus on the development of their artistic talents and physical health. In this way, students will not only enhance their academic skills, but also improve their artistic appreciation and sports abilities. Fully-developing many talents rather than focusing on a single development is important for students who wish to join the trend of globalization.

Every day from 15:50-17:20, the students attend interest classes in order to grow their arts and sports wings.

Diversified education for all-around development: There are nearly 60 different kinds of interest classes in BRFLS, including the areas of music, PE, arts and science. As it is difficult for students to make up their minds when choosing an interest class, Principal Ren proposed another thoughtful idea called “1+X”. This proposal allows students to choose one subject they enjoy to have for a long-period study called “1”. The “X” allows students to try different kinds of interest classes for each semester.

Professional quality education: For training faculty, BRFLS hires many professional teachers and coaches from educational institutions off campus. This has strengthened the quality of teaching group. BRFLS also has state of the art training facilities, including a? gym, indoor pool, auditorium, dancing room, piano room, professional track, football field, basketball court, and tennis court.? BRFLS also plans to build a golf course in the near future.

Confucius once said, “People who know something are better than those who work on it; those who work on it are not as good as those who love it”. Thus, the aim of interest classes is to let students love their interests and keep on developing them. In addition, the joy they gained from interest class can further improve their academic studies and self-directed learning ability. These will become the keystones for them to have a bright future!
